200 Jamaat men sued for attacking UNO, OC
Police has filed a case against eight people including Shahjahanpur upazila Jamaat Ameer Anisur Rahman and Secretary Abdul Latif on charge of attacking Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Abdus Samad and Officer-in-Charge (OC) Anisur Rahman and creating obstacle to discharging government duty.
Over 200 other unnamed people belonging to Jamaat and its front organizations were also made accused in the case filed by Shahjahanpur police station Sub-Inspector Pritish Kumar Sarker.
The UNO and the OC came under attack by the leaders and workers of Jamaat and its front organizations after Section 144 was imposed to stop an illegal rally organized by local Jamaat on Phultola madrasa premises, police said.
Abdur Rahman Mujahid, son of former Jamaat lawmaker late Abdur Rahman Faquir, organized a rally on the death anniversary of his father on Friday morning and it was held peacefully.
Shortly afterwards, Jamaat leaders announced a meeting of party workers where Jamaat Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid was the chief guest.
As the party meeting was organized without permission from the local administration, the latter imposed Section 144 on the venue.
When the UNO and the OC went to the meeting venue and announced imposition of Section 144, Jamaat-Shibir men attacked them.
Complainant of the case SI Pritish Kumar Sarker said Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid was not made an accused in the case.
